What objects/activities/distractions might help the person get through a difficult space (toys, animals, music, etc.)?
• No Pressure: Just be with them. Unless there is risk of bodily injury, just make it clear you are there for them if they need anything. • Touch. Touch can be very powerful, but it can also be quite violating. In general, don’t touch them unless they say its OK or they touch you first. If it seems like they might need a hug, ask them. If they are beyond verbal communication, try to be very sensitive to any negative reaction to touch. Try to avoid getting pulled into any sexual contact. Often, holding hands is a very effective and non-threatening way to let someone know you are there if they need you. • Intensity can come in cycles or waves. It also can work as a system — a movement through transpersonal spaces which can have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Don’t try to push too hard to move it. • Not Forever: If they are connected enough to worry about their sanity, assure them that the state is due to a psychoactive and they will return to their ‘home’ state of mind in time. • No
